This tiny and free application presents a low-maintenance solution for giving yourself basic reminders, but it won't cope well with time-sensitive items. MiniReminder's petite reminder screen is simple and spartan, but you can slightly dress up its appearance by changing the background color. Operating the application won't be a problem for even the most inexperienced users, as you simply specify the event date and reminder message, then add any notes you find appropriate. This utility's biggest flaw is that it can only alert you a certain number of days before an event occurs and won't let you set reminders by the hour. We also found the lack of sound-based reminders a curious omission, although since MiniReminder is totally free, we can't expect everything. We think this program will do for reminding yourself about occurrences such as birthdays and anniversaries, but it's not a good pick for the office environment.

What’s new in version 1.41.09

Version 1.41.09 has added the possibility to edit an event directly from the main window, using Ctrl+DoubleClick when the pointer is over the event.

Does everything I need.
rqrq99July 2, 2013
Pros
Reminds me briefly of things I need to do each day. Takes up very little space and is very easy to maintain.
Cons
Can''t think of any negative characteristics.
Summary
A very useful tool.
"Does what it says on the box"
fatowlMarch 22, 2009
Pros
Freeware Simple and easy to use. Able to add additional notes.
Cons
Unable to set frequency other than yearly.
Summary
I like the simplicity of this software, it does what it says it will do, easily and efficiently. It would have been much better if the frequency of events could be improved on, currently only yearly can be set, which is shame.
Efficient, easy, uncomplicated
AgnotebookJune 7, 2006
Pros
Fills a need for a fast-to-use program. Unlike many "fancier" ones, it allows unlimited flexibility in what you enter. Lets USER make decisions, not the program. Hassle-free for busy life.Allows at least 100 day warning.
Cons
Summary
I never miss an upcoming Birthday!
foxidriveMay 26, 2006
Pros
MiniReminder allows me to alter the number of days prior (and after) the birthday to display, so I can prepare for sending cards etc. A Tri-colour scheme for viewing past/present/upcoming days makes it easy to see which events are when, with several colour schemes/fonts to choose from. It's a most useful utility.
Cons
Summary
Very Useful
Stinger15November 16, 2005
Pros
I like that this is very simple to use and can be a life saver. No flaws at all, always comes up when I boot up the computer for reminding. It is great, I recommend this to anyone who wants a small download, and something that can easily remind of things.
Cons
Nothing hardly at all, although it is simple, it might be a bit unadvanced.
Summary
It can't hold a candle to 'DateTrac'
gbjenningsNovember 3, 2005
Pros
DateTrac (FREEWARE) is FAR superior. Before you install this one, give DateTrac a try at: soucek.clearwire.net/filetrac.html
Cons
Interface and features are not nearly as functional and elegant as DateTrac.
Summary
Excellent program for a reminder that acts as your own personal assistant
